1.	Statutory information

London Bridge Books Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The

company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

2.	Accounting policies

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" of Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

At the balance sheet date the company had net liabilities of £12,988 (January 2017: £9,954). The directors and

shareholders have indicated that they will continue to support the company, and that this support will continue

for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements.

Key source of estimation, uncertainty and judgement

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting practice requires

management to make estimates and judgement that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well

as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of

revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

There is estimation uncertainty in calculating depreciation. A full line by line review of fixed assets is carried

out by management regularly. Whilst every attempt is made to ensure that the depreciation policy is as accurate

as possible, there remains a risk that the policy does not match the useful life of the assets.

There is estimation uncertainty in calculating deferred tax. A full line by line review of deferred tax is carried

out by management regularly. Whilst every attempt is made to ensure that the deferred tax is as accurate as

possible, there remains a risk that the provisions do not match the actual tax liability when asset is disposed of.

There is estimation uncertainty in calculating bad debt provisions. A full line by line review of trade debtors is

carried out at the end of each month. Whilst every attempt is made to ensure that the bad debt provisions are as

accurate as possible, there remains a risk that the provisions do not match the level of debts which ultimately

prove to be uncollectable.

Turnover

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates,

value added tax and other sales taxes.

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and

slow moving items.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when the company becomes a party

to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Trade and other debtors and creditors are classified as basic financial instruments and measured at initial

recognition at transaction price. Debtors and creditors are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the

effective interest rate method. A provision is established when there is objective evidence that the company will

not be able to collect all amounts due.

Cash and cash equivalents are classified as basic financial instruments and comprise cash in hand and at bank

and bank overdrafts.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the company are classified in accordance with the

substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity

instrument. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company

after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds

received, net of direct issue costs.

Taxation

Taxation for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account,

except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or

substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the

balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different

from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and

laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end and that are expected to apply to the

reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they

will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the

balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange

ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating

result.
